  • Either (Nietzsche) / Or (Aristotle)? Macintyre's modernity and the enduring relevance of Kierkegaard

    Open AccessJoel D S RasmussenARTICLEModern Theology2023

    This essay situates Alasdair MacIntyre's typology of moral enquiry in Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry relative to his critique of Søren Kierkegaard in After Virtue to offer an alternative reading of Kierkegaard's Either/Or to the one MacIntyre proposes. The essay shows that MacIntyre's reading of Kierkegaard's Either/Or fails to register that in important respects Kierkegaard's counterpoint of rival perspectives in Either/Or bears striking …

  • Orthodoxy

    Norman Russell, Joel D S Rasmussen et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    Orthodox theologians were aware of developments in Western thinking in the nineteenth century, and sought to define their religious and cultural identity in relation to them. In Russia, this found expression in the Slavophile movement and the ‘Russian School’ with its notion of ‘Godmanhood’. Within the latter context, Soloviev’s controversial sophiology was to exercise an important influence. By the end of the century, prominent members of the in…

  • The Natural World

    Malcolm Clemens Young, Joel D S Rasmussen et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    In the early eighteenth century nature seemed to be governed by universal mathematical laws benevolently established by the Creator. Over the next hundred years, philosophical and cultural changes led to a new experience of nature’s meaning. Kant concluded that the tension between inert matter and living beings, between necessity and freedom, means that we cannot ultimately understand nature (the ground and origin of everything). Schelling’s idea…

  • Race and Emancipation

    Martin Halliwell, Joel D S Rasmussen et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    Set against the history of slavery and abolitionism in the Atlantic world, the chapter first considers two essays of 1900 by African American leader W. E. B. Du Bois before addressing ways churches in the United States were often accused of complicity in perpetuating slavery. The chapter assesses the contested status of the ante-bellum black church and the covert worship slaves often needed to take in the South, before turning to the 1830 Southam…

  • Other Religions

    Bruno Maier, Bernhard Maier et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    The chapter gives an overview of the ways in which nineteenth-century Christian thinkers approached ‘other’, non-Christian religions. On the one hand, it establishes characteristics that distinguish the period between the flowering of Romanticism and the outbreak of the First World War from the periods immediately preceding and following it. On the other hand, it shows the wide range of approaches during the period under consideration, focusing o…

  • Protestantism

    Annette G Aubert, Annette Aubert et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    This chapter looks at the so-called ‘new Protestantism’ that developed in the nineteenth century in reaction to modernity. Protestantism during this period was an international movement characterized by expansion, progress, and diversity. This chapter provides an overview of the key theological contributions and religious movements that exemplify this progress, showing how mediation and reformulation play an important role in shaping Protestant a…

  • Political Transformations

    Mark D Chapman, Mark Chapman et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    Beginning with the French Revolution and the Enlightenment and their effects on the political life and systems of Europe, this chapter discusses the broader impact of the collapse of the political systems in Germany, the modernization of the regimes, as well as the attempts at restoration after the defeat of Napoleon. The author examines conservative and neo-confessional movements, as well as the increasing secularization of societies in Western …

  • The Transformation of Metaphysics

    Joel D S Rasmussen, Judith Wolfe et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    This chapter charts the transformation of metaphysics across the nineteenth century as a series of prodigious swerves: first, it maps the move away from Christian dogmatics in the rationalist theology of Kant and his followers; second, it tracks the professed but problematic return to Christianity’s symbolic universe in the Idealism of Schelling and Hegel; third, it describes a veer ‘back to Kant’ in the attempts to disentangle Christian theology…

  • The Oxford Handbook of Nineteenth-Century Christian Thought

    Joel D S Rasmussen, Judith Wolfe et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    The Oxford Handbook of Nineteenth-Century Christian Thought offers a comprehensive assessment of the various ways in which Christian thought has found expression -during the long nineteenth century; how it has been influenced by contemporaneous scientific, social, political, and cultural developments; and how it has in its turn impacted all areas of Western life and thought during this period. Its contributors accept that, contrary to earlier vie…

  • Music

    B Zon, Joel D S Rasmussen et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    Because music is unable to communicate its meaning as directly as words, it has always relied upon thought to help convey its meaning. Nineteenth-century musical thought therefore comes in two interrelated forms: (1) as literature about music (‘music-in-thought’), such as music history, philosophy, or theology; and (2) as music itself (music-as-thought) written for soloists, instruments, and voices in secular or sacred contexts like the concert h…

  • Democratic Tendencies

    Open AccessJoel D S RasmussenARTICLEModern Intellectual History2017References: 2

    In a recent collection of essays assessing the thought of William James in transatlantic perspective, Berkeley historian emeritus David Hollinger opened his contribution by recounting two memorable exchanges: The sermon at William James's funeral on 30 August 1910 was preached by the Reverend George A. Gordon, a name recognized today only by religious history specialists, but in 1910 a pulpiteer so prominent that he was sometimes described as “th…

  • Mission and Colonialism

    Joel Rasmussen, Michael Gladwin et al.EDITORBOOKNineteenth-Century Christian…2017

    This chapter considers the controversial relationship of Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox Christian missions to colonialism during the long nineteenth century. Missionaries have been caricatured as cultural or political imperialists, or agents of a hegemonic globalizing capitalism. Many accounts have, however, neglected the intellectual and theological substructures of missionary endeavour. A closer look at Christian thought on mission an…
